Every Year the Dutch Quiltersguild "Quiltersgilde"has an exhibition in a region of the Netherlands, most in churches. This year it was in the "Sint Laurenskerk" in Rotterdam. I attended the opening, an after the opening other visitors could come in. There were a lot of people there and, what I most like at such openings, a lot of people I know And I could have a short or longer talk with.In my photo's you see a sort of cake made of different things. It was very funny.In the second you see an image of a detail of a second cake.Annette is trying to make a photo of me, and I tried to make a photo of her and Hanne.The last photo is of the quilt of Petra Robben. She loves roses, and I too. I can recommand the exhibitions of the Quiltersgilde, and surely in combination with the very good museums in Rotterdam.
